Successful toy appeal in Wisbech

People across Fenland have been generous and remembered those less fortunate during the festive season.

KLFM has been running its annual toy appeal and received a fantastic haul.

More than 1,750 toys, worth £12,00 were donated during the three week collection period which saw breakfast presenter Simon Rowe visiting supermarkets every day collecting toys from shoppers during their lunch breaks. He is pictured above picking up toys from the Oasis Centre in Wisbech.

Many organisations gave up their time to wrap.

Mr Rowe said: “It had been an emotional week meeting the people these toys were for and can’t thank you enough if you were able to help, it’s been heart-breaking to hear some of the stories and heart-warming to have been able to help.”
